***The debut vinyl offering from New York's OLDEST, the duo of MICK BARR and BROOKS HEADLEY, is an unlikely document of raw, blackened, avant-hardcore that could only come from a unit with the equally unlikely pedigree boasted by the two lifers responsible for this platter of absolute aural barnburners. It might seem impossible for just two men to share a collective résumé that includes BORN AGAINST, KRALLICE, UNIVERSAL ORDER OF ARMAGEDDON, ORTHRELM, MEN’S RECOVERY PROJECT, CROM-TECH, WRANGLER BRUTES, OCTIS, and many others. It might also be difficult to imagine one band simultaneously conjuring the spirits of outsider heaviness pioneers like Darkthrone, Voivod, and Man Is The Bastard while delivering a truly unique take on aggressive music. All disbelief will dissipate as this black slab burns a hole through you turntable. (STREET DATE - 5/08/2012)
